Local businessman Blake Brannon, President of Brannon Industrial Group, has just received an industry award.
Brannon, who oversees Premier Metal Buyers, BVR Waste & Recycling, and Stop and Go Potties, was just chosen by Waste360 as a 40 under 40 winner. The award honors the next generation of leaders who are shaping the future of the waste and recycling industry.
Brannon says he is proud to be named among this group of elite industry professionals.
As President of BIG, Brannon has grown the business to 150 employees, and processes 168,000 tons of material a year.
In addition to bringing the first metal recycling facility to Brenham, Brannon brought Construction and Demolition Recycling to Bryan/College Station to divert more tons from the landfill. Recently, BIG acquired 3C Disposal (formerly Cowgirl Collection Company) in Navasota.
Brannon says, while his name may be on this award, it really belongs to the BIG team.
The 40 under 40 winners will be honored during an awards ceremony at WasteExpo, North America’s largest solid waste, recycling, and organics industry event, May 4-7 in New Orleans.
